powerpc: ftrace, fix cast aliasing and add code verification

Impact: clean up and robustness addition

This patch addresses the comments made by Paul Mackerras.
It removes the type casting between unsigned int and unsigned char
pointers, and replaces them with a use of all unsigned int.

Verification that the jump is indeed made to a trampoline has also
been added.
